Ensure that you address the following when installing 7000 Series FSPs:
— The
callhome.vmem.com
may not be reachable via TCP port 25 due to corporate
firewall security restrictions (TCP port 25 is a default, and you may need to use another
customer-approved TCP port).
— When setting up callhome and e-mail alerts, use these parameters:
-ss
(customer mail
relay host name or IP address) and
-mf
(customer e-mail address). For details, see
Enabling Callhome and E-mail Alert Settings
— Because time synchronization inside the 7700 FSP and its related components is so
important, ensure that you specify multiple Network Time Protocol (NTP) servers.
— Ensure that you include an e-mail address for the local receipt of logs, in addition to the
standard Violin Systems Support address.
— Use the web-based Simple SetUp Editor configuration utility to create array configuration
(.cfg) files for use on any 7000 Series FSP to be deployed as a standalone array or as a
shelf in a 7700 FSP storage cluster. For more details, see Simple SetUp Editor in the
